I felt the spirit more than ever before on Sunday. We had testimony meeting and everyone bore their simple testimonies in spanish. Weve been taught not to pray for our mouth to be filled with words, but rather we need to open our mouths and act and they will be filled. The MTC president (Bennett) and his wife came to my relief society class this week and we talked about charity and self worth. The right lessons always seem to come when i need them most! I shared my favorite scripture, Moroni 7:45 "And charity suffereth long, and is kind and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, edureth all things." I love this scripture because it refers to charity as a "she" I feel like charity is a quality that all mothers have, and i am here to become the best person i can be for my future familly and my future life as a mother. I shared a few personal experiences and the president had some personal experiences that were very similar to mine. He was testifying to me for at least 20 minutes and never in my life have i felt heavenly fathers love so strongly for me, which i had been praying for. Me and president Bennett are homies now and he never hesitates to hunt me down and see how im doing:) Hes like my dad here, and its comforting haha (Miss my real dad doe)
Me and my sweet companion were called to serve as sister training leaders:) I am so grateful for this opportunity we have to serve others, develop a greater love for eachother and those around us and most importantly, to learn!
This week we had companion exchanges with the Latinos! I got paired with the cutest latina, Hermana Mamani. It amazed me that even though we spoke different languages, we were able to plan and teach with the spirit, but still laugh and have fun in the process of doing it!
I know ive said this before, but im going to say it again. This is the hardest thing i have ever done because i have never tried so hard to be like my savior and so the adversary is working extra time on me. We had an amazing devotional on Tuesday night by Russel M Nelson. He said "if you only have one convert on your mission, i hope it will be yourself." What we do/ what i do her is just as vital as who i am. I am working to take upon his name with full purpose of heart, and live what i learn here. I am not doing this to go back to my old life, this is my life now and there are too many people relying on me on both sides of the veil to not work as diligently as i know i can. I can only convert people to the extent of my own conversion! We are on the same road as the savior and my goal is to declare repentance unto people, not through my words, but the lords words. I am here to bring souls unto him, because this world is ripening of iniquity. But let it rage!!!! This battle is not only mine, but gods, and with god- nothing is impossible!!
Yo se que el evangelio es verdadera!! Mediante Jesucristo y su plan, nosotros podemos todos tener el don de gozo y felicidad!!
